Ye//ow Jackets’ Football Instructor Has Received Many Offers
HEISMAN MAY COACH PENNSY ELEVEN NEXT YEAR
By Percy IL Whiting.
JOHN W. HEISMAN, coach of
the Georgia Institute of Tech
nology football team, may be
the next coaeh of the University of
Pennsylvania. It isn't definitely
•ettled yet, but there is a strong
hunch that the thing will happen.
This is Mr. Heisman’s last sea
son at Tech, under his old con
tract.
• • •
THE strongest reason for believ
ing that Mr. Heisman may go
to Pennsylvania next year is that a
rumor to that effect has seeped out
of Philadelphia and down to At
lanta.
It appears there may be strong
foundation for the rumor.
Os course, Mr. Heisman was a
Pennsylvania man. Ho played base
ball and football there, though his
lack of weight made it impossible
for him to leave any Coy-like dents
in Eastern football history.
However, when Mr. Heisman left
Pennsylvania he took up coaching.
He was the first professional coach
in the state of Ohio, and he Is today
the oldest coach in point of serv
ice in Dixie.
Mr. Heisman has been the most
uniformly successful of Pennsylva
nia graduates at coaching, and he
has been successful for the great
est length of time.
When Mr. Heisman has had ma
terial. he has had a winner. When,
as this year, he has had no mate-

the local college.

BOXING IN IOWA IS DYING.

in tlte coaching. Obviously also,
much of Pennsylvania’s weakness
of late years has been the result,
in the main, of indifferent coaching.
If Mr. Heisman goes to Pennsyl
vania. look out for a revolution—
followx <1 by some Penn successes!
Barring Dan McGugln, who is.
all things considered, about as suc
cessful a coach as America ever
knew. Heisman has no equal in the
South and few in the country. He
knows more football than any man
south or west of Walter Camp, Sr.,
bar nobody; and he can teach what
he knows.
« * •
T?OR all the fact that Georgia men
profess to hate Heisman, it is
a fact that they have wanted to
get him in years past. At pres
ent they have Coach Cunningham
under a three-year contract, and it
is extremely unlikely tliat thej- will
make a change. Despite that, there
is a strong tip out that he may
get an offer from Georgia.
It is know n that Mr. Heisman has
had an offer from one Southern col
lege, and it is not unlikely that this
college is Clemson. The Carolina
team lias been doing bad work of
late, and a change of coaches is
being talked.
It is also known that a Texas
college is planning to make Mr.
Heisman an offer.
s * •
F course, there is always a
Chance tliat Mr. Heisman may
remain right here tn Atlanta. The
Tech athletic authorities have an
option on Mr. Heisman's services.
Probably he could duck out from
under it if lie cared to, but the fact
remains that they have such an
option and that Mr. Heisman would
undoubtedly abide by it. The folks
at Tech know full well that they
would be about ten million years
getting another man who could do
as much with as little material as
Mr. Heisman. So they may decide .
to retain him.
On the other band, they may
feel that a change of coaches would
be for tlie better, and that they
could get a younger and cheaper
man who would acceptably handle
the teams.
The best hunch right now is that
Tech will give up its claim to Mr.
Heisman’s services, provided he
can get the position at Pennsylva
nia.
GIANTS~MANAGER
SUGGESTS CHANGE
IN WORLD’S SERIES
NEW YORK, Nov. 6.—The world's
series rules will most likely be
amended before next year as a result
of suggestions made by Manager Mc-
Graw, of the Giants, to Garry Herr
mann, chairman of the national coin
mission. and Ban Johnson, president of
the American league .McGraw’ and
Johnson have buried the hatchet after
’•eve'al years' enmity.
McGraw made two suggestions illicit
the two members of the national com
mission thought well of and which they
said would likely be adopted before
many months have flown.
In the world series when the Giants
lit upon Joe Wood’s delivery in the first
inning of the seventh game, and scored
six runs, the entire New York team was
on the anxious seat for fear that their
great lead would count for naught as
the clouds were gathering thick and
fast at the time and it looked doubtful
if the tennis would play more than
three or four innings. In this case, un
less they played the full five innings,
the Giants would have done all of their
cannonading for nothing.
McGraw suggested that a rule he
made for future world’s se: les games
that if rain stopped a game, no matter
at what stage, play be resumed the fol
lowing day where the two teams left
off. ruin checks being provided the fans
so that they could see both sections of
the game.
The other rule tliat McGraw sug
gested was to let nil the fans who at
tend a ti< game see the play-off free of
charge, thei smi checks being -uffl
cieut credential to get them into the
park.
HARVARD WORKS
HARD ™ GfflE
mjiw
By Howell Foreman
(Former Atlanta Newspaper Man
Now Student at Harvard.)
CAMBRIDGE, MASS.. Nov. 6.
Scarcely had the echo of the
moanful Tiger howl died
within the stadium walls when the
Harvard eleven, full and strong,
assembled for drill on Soldiers
field, working out for the Vander
bilt game. Trumbull and Coolidge,
the only absentees, were replaced
by Driscoll and O'Brien. Charley
Brickley, the splendid back, who
almost single-handed won Satur
day’s battle, was out and he spent
much time measuring distances and
perfecting- his drop and place kicks.
W endell, too, was at practice. He
started in the Princeton game, but
had to quit. In practice he was
working with a vim, toiling with
his men to whip and to shape some
some new offensive formations.
Sammy Felton booted the pigskin
all over the lot. He wishes to im
prove iii accuracy his wonderful
50-yard punt, which sometimes
goes even too far for his ends.
The work was a tedious task.
Many new formations of attack
were tried. The plays were care
fully explained by the corps of
coaches and this slow, close teach
ing lasted for two hours behind
closed gates. The backs were
coached by Ham Corbett, ’ll. Be
sides Haughton, Coaches Daly,
Leary, Wigglesworth, Paul and Lo
throp, Withington, Brown and
Fisher continually pounded the new
ideas into the bead of each man
on the squad.
At present the conditions of the
Vanderbilt game are very uncertain.
If Haughton uses his second string
men, the Commodores may be
lucky enough to score, but if all
powerful Percy runs in his varsity
bunch, sackcloth and ashes will be
in vogue down in the old moun
tains of Tennessee. Haughton's
plan this season has been to turn
his regulars loose for the first
half of the game, thus rolling up
a good score, and then the second
boys take up the fight.
Vanderbilt should be licked . in
the first half. Her chance to score
and show what she’s got up her
sleeve will no doubt come toward
the latter part of the game.

Tech Football Elevens a Joke Until Coach Heisman Was Secured
YELLOW JACKETS ALL-TIME TEAM GREAT MACHU
By J. S. Moore, Jr.
GEORGIA TECH’S athletic ca-
reer has been a varied one
and amounted to very little
until Coach Heisman was secured
nine years ago, and since then Tech
has held her own with the best In
the South. There was no athletic
association at Tech in the days be
fore Coach Heisman, and. Tech was
considered a joke by all teams.
The year he took charge of the
teams tilings changed and the Yel
low Jackets were held in awe by all
Southern colleges. Therefore, it is
well-nigh impossible to pick an ali-
Tech. all-time football team, but
an all-Tech Heisman-time team
will meet all requirements of the
most critical, and the choice that
follows was made after long and
deliberate consideration.
We will pick the line first and
then the back field. For the cen
ter's job there are three men who
loom head and shoulders above all
others and any of whom would
make a most excellent man. These
are Sims, ’OS: Snider, ’O7, and
Loeb, ’ll.
Sims was a big man, powerful on
offense and a sure tackle, on de
fense. He knew the game well and
played like a man "trying out” all
the time, and to him goes first
place.
Snider was an extra big man,
but not up to Sims on offense. He
broke interference wonderfully well
and always played a jam-up game
under all conditions.
Loeb Light But Fast.
Loeb we still have with us. He
is light, but fast, gritty and plays
the hardest game of any man on
the Tech team, but his lack of
weight keeps him from getting first
place.
The guards were not so easy to
pick, as Tech has had a great many
extra good men to fill these places,
but these men seem to have been
there with the goods and get the
places:
Sinclair. 'I1 y played his best game
his last year at guard. He was
one of the most powerful men that
has ever come to Tech. He was
6 feet 6 inches and weighed 195
pounds in condition. Being long
and powerful, he could open up a
bole through any line be ever
charged against, and on defense he
was well-nigh impregnable. He
easily gets one of the first places.
It was due to his good work that
Goree made such pretty gains in
the Sewanee game last year, when
Tech for the first time so over
whelmingly defeated the Tigers.
The man to be a running mate
to this man had to be a good one,
and in Snider’s work in 1906 we find
the needed stuff.
Good Breaking Up Plays.
He was also an extra big man,
6 feet 2 inches, and weighing over
180 in condition. He could break up
interference better than any man
who has ever worn a Tech uni
form. and on his defensive play he
was strongest. However, he
charged low, hard and consistently,
and is the best man for the other
guard.
Gregg. 'O4. and Gordon Smith,
'O7, deserve honorable mention.
They were good, hard players, but
lacked the weight and experience
necessary for an ideal linesman.
I’p to the present season. Tech
has always had a bountiful supply
of material for the tackles, and
some of the best players have been
tackles, who, by their tackles and
tackle bucks, gave Tech many a
game which would have gone the
other way.
The best tackle that has ever
played for Tech was "Pat” Pat
terson. He played hie best game at
tackle in 1910 and made all-South
ern two years. He was nearly
an ideal linesman, being over six
fret tall and weighing around 180.
He was undoubtedly the best con
sistent ground gainer that played in
tne line in the South and was a

and when that mass of humanity

“Lobster” played his best ball in

down-and-drag-out game was in
vogue. He was also a good back
field man. and in the last game
Tech played with Davidson he kick

line.
John Davis, better known as “20
Per Sent Davis;” “Shorty” Sinclair
and "Bits” Munroe, ’O6, all played
good ball at tackle, but not in the
class with the first named.
At the ends we have two men
who were not of the smashing type,
but were heady, quick men, who
knew the game like a book, and
played hard all the time. •
At right end we have “Chip”
Robert, who played his best game
at end in 'O7. He was a better
man at offense than defense, and
was away above the average in the
use of the stiff arm. He was a
rather short man. but heavy set,
weighing about 170. In his year at
end he had a trick of boxing near
ly every end he played against, thus
allowing "Red” Hill to go for long
gains.
The other end is not so easy to
pick. It is among Craig Day,

All of these men were scrappy
players. Goree was best on the of-
NAVY MUST IMPROVE TO
DOWN WEST POINT MEN
ANNAPOLIS. MD„ Nov. 6—There Is
optimism at the Naval academy over
the showing of the football team in its
game against Western Reserve last
Friday and at yesterday's practice ses
sions, but it is admitted that the men
must show vastly improved form to be
worthy opponents of the Army on No
vember 30.
The back field is unsettled and there
are at least three places on the line
which may be regarded as undecided.
The weight of the players, taken
within the last two or three days,
shows that the team is not quite as
heavy as thought. The average of the
team as it probably will be selected to
oppose the Army la 179 pounds. The
line averages 182 pounds and the back
field 173. Two members of the squad
weigh over 200 pounds.
